[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks all. Yeah, she is going to do couples counseling, individual therapy...the problem is everywhere is booked! Super hard to get in with all the demand. She told me tonight she got a book "Healing from Infidelity: The Divorce Busting Guide to Rebuilding your Marriage after an Affair". They are both going to do the tasks from the book. It's so shocking and disgusting on so many levels. [b]We're both products of divorce and don't want her (or my) kids to go through that,[/b] the covid aspect, the TWO YEARS of lying (we've gone on vacation with them MANY times!), and of course the actual act of sleeping with someone else for that long. A lot to process for both of us. Her kids are still so little, and the thought of raising them solo seems very daunting for her and she's still very much in love with her DH. It will be a long, shitty road.[/quote]

I hope she does get an individual therapist, preferably before a couples therapist. I understand the bolded, but I also think having a save the marriage at all costs mindset could be damaging. Her husband started an affair during COVID, while we were all locked down, stuck home with kids 24/7, online school, the whole thing. Her husband sucks and sounds like someone who can't handle the tough stuff. She should really be clear on what she is getting out of this marriage.[/quote]
